Better than ever!

It might be a typical Sun City layout but the course was in great shape except for some bunkers which needed attention. Great pace of play in ideal conditions too! They have also invested in new carts with GPS.

Good bang for the buck

I use to like this course

Greens were in VERY rough shape. Lots of Canada geese along with MUCH evidence of their plentiful diet. Pace of play was OK 4:30. Typical Sun City layout and the sand traps had grass growing in them!

I used to like this course; no more!

Excellent Outing

There was really nothing negative to say! We teed off at 10:30 and were done 4 hours later with nobody holding us up. Greens were in fantastic shape with putts rolling true and fast. The course has an interesting mix and offered excellent value.

Surprisingly GOOD!

We play here occasionally and today was the first time this fall. The course is in much better shape than I have ever seen. The layout is a bit challenging given the layout so you really need to play here once before you know where to aim. The greens were rolling true but a bit slow. Excellent pace of play at 4:00. RECOMMENDED!

Not quite as good as before

We have loved playing here in previous years. Today's conditions were a bit below par as the overseeding seems to have been sketchy. Some tee boxes were closed and the fairways had many hues of green so some balls needed to be cleaned and placed on better grass. Still a nice course....just not as good as other years.

Nice for what it is

A shorter executive course in typical Sun City layout. Well-maintained with a "Ranger" to keep the pace up. Greens were a bit shaggy after the overseed but rolled true.

Keep expectations in check but have fun and save money

There is decent variety on this course and you need to play it once to know the lay. Fairways were only in fair shape so move your ball to the green stuff. Greens were OK and running fairly fast. Pace of play was 4:10 so no complaint there. Just do not expect a course that is immaculately manicured and you too can have a fun round!

Nice, but not Exciting

Tee boxes are starting to dry up and get brown. Typical Sun City lay-out with fairly flat fairways with minimal bends. Greens are large and were running fast and true. Sand traps had good sand to hit out of. A nice round made even better with a 3:10 pace of play.

A VERY nice surprise

Yes it is a an average Sun City layout but wait for the greens to send your score to the moon! It isn't because they are unfair or ill-kept it is because they are big, undulating and very fast....so take your time in assessing your putts. Better yet - land your approach next to the pin. The tract is straightforward and hazards can be played around but getting to the green is only half the battle. VERY enjoyable round.

OK....but

So our tee time of 12:40 turned into 1pm and then we played 4.5 hours so the pace of play was BARELY acceptable as we finished as the sun set. The course has some interesting layouts which requires you to find the right target. You have to play it once to have a chance. The fairways were the weak spot as they were a bit sparse but playable anyway. The greens had been recently aerated but ran fairly fast and true. Not a bad round, but not all that memorable.

A bit cool but very good

The course is a nice layout without too many difficulties. The pace on a Sunday was excellent: 4 hours. The tee boxes, fairways and greens were all in top shape. They had a BBQ set up with decent prices for a bite to eat. All good!

Excellent Experience...just a bit slow

So this day was a shotgun start at 1pm which was no problem the last time we played and got a 4 hour round in before dark. We were not so lucky this time as we were behind a group with a limited mobility player who got slower and slower and wouldn't let us play through. Eventually, we dropped a hole and advanced so we could play 17 of the the 18 holes.

I love the course and it is in pristine condition. Go.

Solid, Really good

The course looks great from tee box to green. Sand traps are a bit coarse but that would be the only negative. A 4-hour round with an afternoon tee time so that was great. Yes - we will be back!

Good Bang for the Buck

This is an OK course with some interesting holes. Pace of play is a bit slow with 4.5 hours being the norm. But the price certainly makes this a great deal!

Cart Path Only for a good reason

Yes there is lots of water at the Legend and with their overseed in full swing.....there is lots on the course itself and the traps...and you get the idea. And the geese love all this wetness and new growth so they are eating and fertilizing. Anyway, if you get the right price then this is tolerable. We golfed 6 holes in 1 hour and then spend 3 hours on the next 12....too bad.

Excellent Round!

Overseeding has gone well and greens were in fine shape. We had a couple of guys ahead of us who were pokey but let us play through so we ended with a 4 hour round! Lots of water in the desert but few homes so this place is good if you spray a bit.

A Beauty Indeed!

We golfed at 9:30 on a 100+ day and not surprisingly had the course pretty much to ourselves so were able to complete in just over 3 hours. It was in fantastic shape despite the unseasonably hot streak of late. This was our first time here and some of the holes required previous experience to determine the best aiming spots. The greens were generally elevated and ran fast and true. There was decent variety on the course and a number of hazards to watch out for.
We were too tired to have lunch there but the clubhouse is definitely 5 stars. We look forward to returning!

Always a Challenge

Wickenburg CC is one of our favourite courses in the Valley of the Sun. It is welcoming and has a unique layout that requires a second visit (or more) to appreciate. While this course would not be an example of a tournament course - it has an excellent variety of layouts that require some thought on where to play the ball. You must be able to hit it straight to keep your score in double digits.
We teed off by 8:30 to beat the heat and had a 3-hour round as the tourists had cleared out. The course was in GREAT shape. Greens ran fast and true and the tee boxes and fairways were well-maintained.
To top off our day we had a great lunch in their clubhouse at an affordable price.
An EXCELLENT day!
